Steel Hunters is a free-to-play mech-hero shooter that combines battle royale and extraction mechanics.

Players control powerful mechanical giants called Hunters in duo PvPvE battles, with extensive customization options.

Set in a world ravaged by a cataclysm, Hunters are tasked with protecting "Starfall," a rare alien resource crucial for human survival. Each battle, whether solo or in a tram, is a chance to demonstrate tactical skill on an abandoned Earth.

Key Features

Players engage in battles with a unique Hunter within a PvPvE arena, pursuing various objectives to level up and acquire gear, ultimately culminating in a final showdown at the extraction point.
• Master distinct mechanical giants: The fun of Steel Hunters lies in learning and mastering individual Hunters and using their ability kits and progression systems in the most effective way.

• Duo Symbiosis: Cooperation is crucial to achieve victory. Whether you're playing with a friend or matched with another Hunter, combining tactics and abilities with your duo partner is what will make the difference in the Hunting Grounds.
